Manager-inator

⚠️ This repo has been superseded by GitHub Agentic Workflows (gh-aw).

What Changed

This repo previously contained shared reusable workflows and a Node.js AI helper (ai-helper.js) used by per-direct-report repos via GitHub Actions' uses: cross-repo workflow feature.

With the migration to GitHub Agentic Workflows (gh-aw), the architecture changed fundamentally:

• Before: Template repo had thin .yml caller workflows → invoked reusable .yml workflows in manager-inator → those ran ai-helper.js via Node.js → called OpenAI GPT-4.1 via GitHub Models API
• After: Each direct-report repo has self-contained .md workflow files → gh-aw compiles them into GitHub Actions → Copilot engine (Claude Opus 4.6) executes the AI prompts directly → safe-outputs creates PRs/issues

Why This Repo Still Exists

This repo is retained as:

1. Historical reference — The old reusable workflow architecture and AI helper logic are preserved in git history
2. Future shared resources — If shared prompt templates, configuration, or tooling is needed across direct-report repos, this repo can host them

Current Architecture

Each direct-report repo (created from performance-checkins template) is fully self-contained:

• .github/workflows/*.md — 16 gh-aw agentic workflow files with embedded AI prompts
• .github/workflows/*.lock.yml — Compiled workflow files (auto-generated by gh aw compile)
• No external dependencies on this repo
